17th
With full sail and full engine I can go… nowhere. I have a counter current, and turning the bow around (because the wind, like always, blows right into my face) I just get the opposite result. I was fighting as I was promised the change of wind direction by the forecast… eventually there wasn’t a lot of fuel left so I laid the ship to drift. So I’m drifting like that towards Madagascar… How nice it sounds :)
Aha, exactly, I’ve forgotten about the event of the day. Who cares about storm :). When I was fighting like that after sleepless night, drifting fishing boat, by a hair’s breadth, bumped into my ship!! There’s nothing wrong with your ears… that’s right. It was drifting out there and almost smashed me. I’m still in shock because only thanks to the fact that I went out to have a look around and stepped on it, we managed to avoid the collision. My legs were shaking out of fear and I think I was praying for the engine not to fail… what kind of idiotic situation that was after all. How unlucky you have to be to come across something like that. So much water around, but on the other hand, it was such a fluke, wasn’t it?!!
Well, what’s going on in here dear ladies and gentlemen…
(The ship nearby gave a report to the coastal station).
